Those cheap wireless video cameras hawked by annoying pop-up ads can be intercepted by anyone with a few hundred dollars and a voyeristic bent. There's no federal law against it, but there should be.

If I bought some of these cameras,it would be with the knowlege that any one in the vicinity with a reciever could see what's on my cameras.How can one expect privacy from a product that has none?That's like expecting privacy while your nude sunbathing in your yard with no fence!It's ridiculous.I would expect the author should be able to comprehend this fact.
Instead of advocating more (useless) laws,maybe,if this wireless technology doesn't suit your expectations,you could design a surveillance technology that does instead of complaining about it's shortcomings.
P.S.My home is protected by a German Shepherd Dog and various name guns.They are much more effective than a passive camera.No shortcomings either!
